Hey guys. Could someone pls tell me why the quran says bearing period is 6
Months when its actually 9 months?Salaam MaryK,
Please be aware that Quran use different calculation and definition for the bearing period. It's not necessary to follow the term "9 months pregnancy" used in modern medical knowledge. I prefer to use 40 weeks pregnancy to make it easier for you.Al Quran use luni-solar calendar based on fact stated in 105 and 1712. So the term month is referring to the lunar month (29.5 days) and year is referring to solar year (365 days).
So let's start with this verse first,
4615 And We enjoined the human being to do good to his parents. His mother bore him with hardship, gave birth to him in hardship, and his bearing and weaning lasts thirty months.
2233 And the birth mothers may suckle their children for two years complete, if they wish to complete the suckling.
So lets extract all those cycles into small fraction based on Luni-solar calculation,
Bearing+Weaning = 30 months = 30 x 29.5 = 885 days
Weaning = 2 years = 2 x 365 days = 730 days = 730/29.5 = ~24 monthsNow we can calculate the bearing period just like this 885 - 730 = 155 days, or 155/29.5 = ~5.25 months
So where's the rest compare to the "9 months" pregnancy?
In Quran,.. the first 4 months and 10 days doesn't count as bearing period,..but this one is called "interim period". But actually it's the same as first 4 months of bearing period in modern medical knowledge. You can find it in the next verse
2234 And those of you whose lives are terminated, and they leave wives behind, they will have a required interim period of four months and ten.
Now lets do the same thing
Interim period = 4 months + 10 days = 128 days
If you sum up all those number of days, it will be like this
Interim period+Bearing Period 128 + 155 days = 283 days.
Now you can divide that number of days into week 283 days / 7 = 40 weeks.
It will fit all modern medical knowledge which is 40 weeks preganancy.

All these calculation only work in Luni-Solar calendar which has the length of the month is 29.5 days and the length of the year is 365 days instead of 354 days.
Hope this helps.
Peace

peace, no mixing unrelated terms and math is incorrect.
This is solving an inequality; pregnancies time and weaning time/separation are variable.
In most cases pregnancy is 9 lunar months and require 21 months (30 - 9) breastfeeding.
Solve inequality equation thus
3114 wafiluhu/and separation his in/within/less than mayni/year two
4615 wahamluhu/and carry his wafisaluhu/and separation his thirty shahran
p = pregnancy time/carry his/said person (variable)
w = weaning time/separation his/said person (variable)w < 709 days {3114 24 x (lunar months / day) = 708.73416 days}
886 - p < 709 {4615 30 x (lunar months / day) = 885.9177 days}
p = 177+ days
Therefore babies born earlier require more weaning and vice versa which covers wide range.
30 shr pregnancy weaning time
(days) days mts days mts
886 177 6 709 24
886 207 7 679 23
886 236 8 650 22
886 266 9 620 21 (i.e. most pregnancies)

Born September 4, 2004, Rumasia Rahman is currently the worlds smallest premature baby to have survived from birth until hospital discharge.
Rumasia and her fraternal twin sister Hiba were born at 25.6 weeks gestation, just over 15 weeks before their due date. At birth, Rumasia weighed just 260 grams, or 8.6 ounces?about the size of a small cell phone. She was 9.8 inches long. Rumasias twin sister Hiba was more than twice her size, at 1 lb 4 oz and 12 inches long.
25.6 Weeks = 179.2 Days = 6.07 lunar months
Therefore the twin sisters require less than 24 lunar months (30 - 6.07 = 23.93) breastfeeding.http//www.newhealthguide.org/Longest-Pregnancy.html
In 1945, for example, Beulah Hunter who was 25 at the time gave birth after a pregnancy lasting 375 days, which is slightly over a year and almost 100 days more than the average human gestational period. The length of the pregnancy was confirmed by examining her pregnancy test and menstrual cycle. Doctors feel that the long pregnancy was because the child developed extremely slowly in the womb when compared to the average child but despite this, Hunters daughter, named Penny Diana was healthy and normal at birth.
375 days = 12.7 lunar months
Therefore Penny requires slightly more than 17 lunar months (30 - 12.7 = 17.3) breastfeeding.
